i use a nxe pack (NXE 09 2009 TP Series Harness 4+3+2) and its great. the only thing i dont like is that the secondary pod holders in between the main pod holsters flop around and get in the way of the pull tabs. they do not stay between the holsters as shown in pictures. what i have done is stapled them folded since i do not use them. other than than, the nxe packs are amazing. if possible, go to a shop to look at them and try them on.

i personally think the hk are more comfortable with the padding in the lumbar support but the nxe packs are great as well. cant go wrong with either. if i were you id go hk just cus they look nicer than the nxe do. (imho)

The NXE comes with pods, but NXE pods are complete shit, I'd just buy some extra pods with it.

The pod lids flex, I had to sand the tabs because they were so sharp and hurt to touch, and they just don't feel durable.

Their pods, alot of people, including myself use them and lose them within the season, or even a game! The only pod I've managed to keep through out my years of playing was my blue fat boy pod, I broke the other one a week ago so I only have one more left

Empire pods my friends... A little more on the expensive side, but the 3 tabs and easy open = win.

I have some, they ain't bad at all but I prefer my Valken or GXG pods, mostly because they're about 1 buck less..... and i feel like I'm the only one who despises Proto Alpha pods, they're expensive, and open in my pack every time I use them!
